The 800mah battery has come in. (The BEC has not arrived yet.) It has 2 connectors; one is 3 pins and one is 2 pins. I noticed that if I take the voltage on the red and black wires of either connector I get about 8 volts. So, I am thinking that the Lipo battery may have come fully charged. Which connector is used for charging (or does it make any difference)?

My battery charger has 5 settings for Lipo batteries. They are as follows:
* LiPo Charge, 0.1 A 3.7v(15)
* LiPo Balance, 4.0 A 7.4v(25)
* LiPo Fast Chg, 0.1 A 3.7v(15)
* LiPo Storage, 0.1 A 3.7v(15)
* LiPo Discharge, 1.0 A 6.0v(25)
If I want to charge the 800mah battery, which setting should I choose? What are the other settings?
If its the music wire/hardened wire sold in hobby stores under the K&S brand it great stuff, it will however eat regular wire cutters for lunch. Better to use the hard wire cutters made for it or a dremel with cut off disc. The money I spent for the hardwire cutters was well spent.
I took a few pictures of the Aerotech 24-40 plugged case for R/G gliders along side of the standard 24-40 case with the built-in delay charge. I bought my plugged case at Red Arrow. I think they were a little bit cheaper than other vendors. It may take Dave at Red Arrow a little bit of time to get this part in stock, but your patience will be rewarded. In Frank's video on another thread he shows how to reload this motor. It is easier to load than the standard case, because the delay charge and parts are not present.

Just curious since you have both side-by-side, would the standard 24-40 case work the same as the plugged case if the forward closure was filled with epoxy? I just think it's a bit ridiculous that the plugged case costs more than twice that of the standard case.
